The Fiddlehead Reviews Lift
To wrap up unfinished business from the Year Formerly Known as 2020, I need to thank The Fiddlehead and Lynn Davies for reviewing Lift in the magazine’s Summer 2020 edition. Davies’s review was clear, generous, and paired Lift with Catherine J. Stewart’s Snow Melts First in the Middle of the Slough with real decency and care. To be perfectly transparent, I cried.
The Fiddlehead was my first ever real in-print poetry acceptance. To have them feature my book means the world. I’ve linked to the issue below.
